Warm-up + Project

Let's take a look at Vera Neuman's designs; her style and, colors, and create our own original pieces.

Will you use bold colors, simple shapes, everyday images, or abstract patterns? 

Consider a design for a scarf, a dinner plate, or a placemat. Neuman’s designs started as paintings. We will paint, paint, and paint!

Watercolors, colored pencils, markers, or cut paper, it's your choice!
